So Jasmin , Harish and Ronit ratio of investment is (Jasmin : Harish : Ronit ) = (2x X 12 ) : ( 3x X 12 ) : ( 3x X 6 ) = 24 : 36 : 18 = 4 : 6 : 3 .

Example: Jeenat started a business and she invested in 76000, After some month, Amrita came to join with her and invest 57000.The end of the year the total profit was divided among them into ratio form 2 : 1.Find after how many months Amrita join.Answer:Step 1: we can assume that Amrita join into business after x months. So Amrita’s money was invest into (12 – x) months.Step 2: 76000 x 12 / 57000 x (12 – x) = 2 / 1 912000 = 114000 (12 – x) => 114 (12 – x) = 912 =x = 4hence, after 4 months Amrita join the business.
